Reely Stagger Operating Instructions Manual page 37

• Place the charger and battery on a heat-resistant, non-combustible surface.
• The charger and battery will heat up during the charging process. Ensure that there is a sufficient dis-
tance between the charger and battery. Never place the battery directly onto the charger. Never cover
the charger and the battery. Do not expose the charger or battery to extremely high/low temperatures
or direct sunlight.
• Never leave batteries unattended when they are charging.
• Rechargeable batteries should be charged regularly (approx. once every 2 – 3 months) to prevent them
from overdischarging. This may result in permanent damage and render the batteries useless.
NiMH rechargeable batteries (except special batteries with a low self-discharge) lose their charge within
a few weeks.
LiPo rechargeable batteries usually retain their charge for several months. However, if the batteries
overdischarge, this will result in permanent damage and render them useless.
• Never use an excessive charging current. Observe the manufacturer's specifications for the ideal/maxi-
mum charging current.
• Disconnect the rechargeable battery from the charger when the rechargeable battery is fully charged.
• The charger and the rechargeable battery must not get damp or wet. This may result in a fatal electric
shock or cause a fire or explosion!
Lithium rechargeable batteries (e.g. LiPo batteries) contain chemicals that are very sensitive to moisture.
